Cutting something, adding something

Post by Bram »

I’m on my third week of no internet browsing. Searching is fine, but it’s seldom.

Initially, it was easy. But now, all the extra time has me on edge.

I’ve added ten minutes of art a day (AWESOME!!), but it’s not enough.

The next step is to create one highly memorable experience each week — past examples include a D&D night at my apartment with all my best friends (I had dungeon music, forest music, and battle music cued up; and voices for every character they’d encounter); a Tiki party with the same people with Exotica playing, a custom cocktail I’d made to share, and every person had to bring materials for their own cocktail; and skateboarding through snow covered mountains in Colorado.

I probably have a dozen of these a year, but fifty-two sounds better.

Cutting the internet down, and replacing it with something better, are my goals. I’m not trying to force that on anyone else. I DO hope this makes one of you think of something meh to drop and rad to add :)
